FSF: Sigma 30mm f1.4, Fujifilm X-E1, K20D, FA 28-70mm F4 AL
There’s good stuff sitting unloved in the cupboard, and an upgrade opportunity, so... The prices are wild-ass guesses based on looking at EBay. Is EBay still a thing? If I’m asking for too much my feelings totally won’t be hurt if you say so, or just offer less. If I’m asking for too little... well you got lucky I suppose. Payment by Paypal or in Bitcoin (seriously). 1. Sigma 30mm F1.4. STORY: Start at http://goo.gl/QnDsO - here’s a show-off piece: http://goo.gl/f584P7 WHY? I only use Pentax for long-lens work these days. The Fujinon 35mm f1.4 fills the same gap at a third the size/weight, and the Sigma is just too good to sit in a closet. COMES WITH: Everything, including the nifty Sigma soft-side lens carrier, hood, cap, etc. CONDITION: Hunky dory. $$$: US$240 + shipping 2. Fujifilm X-E1 (black on black, no silver, looks like a rangefinder) with Soviet Helios 58mm. STORY: You’ve probably seen the hype on the Fujifilm X-cams. My love letter’s at http://goo.gl/WvenmD - also the photos I took in March of 2013, of Tokyo and The Big Island, are mostly this camera: http://goo.gl/D78m0Q WHY? I lust after this year’s model, the X-T1. COMES WITH: Original box, charger, USB cable, etc. I only have two Fujinon lenses and I love both, you can’t have ’em. You can buy a K-adapter and put your Pentax glass on, it works fine albeit manual. But so you don’t start naked, I’ll toss in a Soviet-made “Helios 44-2” 58mm F/2.0, which I bought (disclosure: CHEAP) because it’s supposed to have stars in its bokeh. I never got the stars, but the lens can do good things, for example http://goo.gl/yP32iv which also has an adorable pic of the camera with Soviet lens installed (but you don’t get the Luma Cinch, just the stock Fuji strap). CONDITION: Recent shots at http://www.tbray.org/ongoing/What/Arts/Photos/ $$$: US$325 + shipping 3. K20D. STORY: My backup when the K-5 was my everyday camera. COMES WITH: Nothin’, just the basic body/charger/strap. But, nicely packed up for shipping, with manuals & so on, in a K-5 box, which fits it perfectly. CONDITION: Has always worked fine but I haven’t used it much since 2011. $$$: US$175 + shipping (They seem to be selling for more than that on EBay, which seems crazy). 4. FA 28-70mm F4 AL. STORY: I’d forgotten I had this until I went poking around in the cupboard for the K20. This lens was one of the reasons I got into Pentax digital, my wife & I had both shot Pentax film before we met, and thus had film-era lenses sitting around. (The other is a 50mm F2 but you can’t have it.) This is from the early 90s I think. I used it a lot on the *ist D, here are a few pix: http://goo.gl/S2UzuW http://goo.gl/A1CKWp http://goo.gl/Vnwvhh WHY? For the K-5 I have the 50-135 and for the Fuji I have the 18-55. CONDITION: Looks fine. Stuck it on the K-5 today and it auto-focused. COMES WITH: Front & back caps and a Hoya Skylight (1B) filter. I don’t have a case, you’ll get it in a shipping box with bubble wrap. $$$: US$75 + shipping. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Re: New 645D?
More good signs that, under Ricoh, Pentax has a better marketing department than they did under Hoya. I thought it was really lame when they called it the 645D 2014 (which would be dated as soon as 2015 rolls around. That haD all the originality of Windows 98). I knew they just COULDN'T keep that name. But waiting until now to reveal the true name creates another little wave of buzz. So do you think it is going to be 645Z or 645Dz or 645dZ? It is also a tip of the cap to previous Pentax naming conventions, like the p-Z1. Maybe they will use a hyphen. I am really curious to see what this camera's video capabilities are. I'm not a videographer, but if this thing could do extended video filming on a medium format chip it could be a very serious tool for the money to videographers. I fear that this is going to suffer from the same overheating problems after so many minutes that the DSLRs do, without auxillary cooling - which would have driven up the price. I think that this camera could benefit from being designed with a removable back that would give you two back options: 1) that contains the standard LCD screen 2) a thicker one that incorporates sensor cooling AND the LCD If it snapped on and off like the old film backs, then people could buy one or both backs, depending upon their needs. The cooling back would also be terrific for astrophotographers. A LOT of serious astrophotographers used Pentax 6x7, back in the day and many of them spend big bucks.

Re: colored strobes
Back when I had a studio I used these plastic clips to hold gels. Can't remember where I got them - it's 20 some years ago - but I suspect an office supply store or craft store might have something similar. They're stick-on so should be removable if the need arises. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/lcpfhrnnym0l6on/uMFDO45dRs -p On 4/3/2014 12:28 PM, John wrote: On 4/2/2014 9:11 PM, Larry Colen wrote: As you can tell by many of my recent posts, I’be been having fun experimenting with colored gels on strobes for backgrounds in portraits.

April PUG - now up!
G'day all A smallish gallery this month. My personal favourite is Bruce's "Cotoneaster in Blue Vase" - the colour, the lighting; just superb. Other favs - Rob's "Where the Needle hits the Vinyl" and Dave's "Twin Suns". Overall, a very nice collection. As usual, you'll find the gallery here: http://pug.komkon.org/ (you may need to refresh your browser if you see the previous Gallery there). Note: The automated submission process usually works well but it's not infallible. So, if you made a submission and you don't see it in the gallery, let me know. + Next up for May is 'Hairy' - my mind is already boggling in anticipation... Submit here: http://pug.komkon.org/submit/ Submission Guidelines here: http://pug.komkon.org/general/autosubmit.html The main requirements are: * Max. pixel dimensions: 800 x 800 pixels * Max file size: 300k * Third party equipment is acceptable provided either the camera body or lens used is Pentax. * If you embed a colour space in the image, it should be sRGB to ensure that the image is displayed correctly on line. * Nominal closing date: 30 September. -- Cheers Brian ++ Brian Walters Western Sydney Australia http://lyons-ryan.org/southernlight/ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Anybody on PDML from Turkey or Germany?
I was wondering if any of PDMLers are from a) Dresden, Germany or b) Istambul or Antalya, Turkey. I am planning to be in those places in late April-early May, and would be glad to meet with people from there. So, if you are in one of those places, please contact me off the list. I don't remember that anybody active now is from there, but I might be forgetting (or misplacing) somebody, or there might be some lurkers who aren't writing to the list.

Re: April PUG - now up!
Yeah, that Cotoneaster is a wonderful piece of work. Way to go Bruce. I also like like Rob’s weird-vinyl shot and Dario’s, uh, is it an art gallery?

Pentax Spotmatic F issue
Hi, I have a Pentax Spotmatic F The mirror currently locks up. I’ve been told its the bump stop. I’m wondering who people have fixed this and if anyone has photos of what the inside of the camera (bumpstop in particular) should look like? Thanks, Callum -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
Re: Pentax Spotmatic F issue
Hi Callum, The "bump stop" is the rubber that surrounds the focusing screen. When you take the lens off you will see it at the top. They like to deteriorate and go all gooey in time. If your mirror is sticking there you will probably see evidence of the goo around the edges of the mirror itself . When this happens, the same thing is likely happening to the seals that engage the film door (bits sticking to the door edges that engage the slots in the body where the seals reside. There is a guy in the U.S. that sells seal kits (very reasonably). He used to sell on eBay but gave that up due to too many run-ins with fraud, etc. But he still sells the kits. They come with all the instructions for doing the replacement yourself. His email is: jon_good...@yahoo.com Hope that helps!
